Hi all,
So I upgraded one of my systems to 14.2. Everything seemed to go fine except a problem with NVIDIA and with xsane. The NVIDIA problem was solved by patching the kernel as described
here.
This is a slackware64 system with multilib installed.
I'm still struggling with the scanner problem. The device is a Brother MFC-7420 connected by USB. The scanner worked fine under 14.1 and I am a member of the scanner group.
When trying as my regular user neither scanimage -L nor xsane find the scanner. sane-find-scanner reports permission errors.
When trying these as root, there is again no result from scanimage or xsane, but sane-find-scanner does find the scanner/printer.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Brian
